Hi, some friends and i were looking to start working on car bodys, as we all have cars that need body work. Here is basically what we need to do:

-remove dents, dings, scratches, and rust.
-remove paint off a car down to the bare metal
-apply a new, nice looking paintjob.

What we need to know is what tools we need to accomplish this on a part-time job/DIY budget, but still doing it the 'right' way.

i am not too into chemical stripping because we would like to be able to leave most of the interior in place (door panels etc), and that looks more expensive.

and no rustoleum. we want a real paintjob.

Thanks!,
mike

 

can someone please point me in a direction as to what i should spend on a quality set of dent removal tools?
